EPH2 — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

PGSC0003DMG402023438 (symbol EPH2) on potato chromosome 5 encodes a soluble epoxide hydrolase, a member of the epoxide hydrolase-like and alpha/beta hydrolase families. The enzyme possesses epoxide hydrolase activity (EC 3.3.2.10) and broader hydrolase activity. In potato, EPH2 is associated with the lipoxygenase pathway, aminolevulinic acid metabolism, regeneration, protein synthesis, detoxification, virus-induced post-transcriptional gene silencing, nitric oxide storage, and photosynthesis (GO:0015979). Related genes in other species link the family to epoxide hydrolase activity (EC 3.3.2.-).
